Video Description
Here I am trying to fix a Nokia 9110 Communicator from 1998. I think this is the first ever phone to use BGA chip technology, that we still use to this day. I'm glad I tried this phone, and I love the electroluminescent greyscale LCD. But like life, things don't exactly go to plan.
